What Do You Do with All Your Empty Tins?

[deathmetal]

I know some LOLs (little old ladies) who stitch, knit, macrame, cross, etc. and I hand them over to them.
Every now and then they bring me pies.
Best in the world... be right back, need to march ten miles while carrying an anvil to work off these delicious calories!

Square tobacco tins are perfect to make your own survival kit, check the SAS way.

I make decoys and a blind out of them. I hunch down in the blind and wait for unicorn blends to show up and then take them out with my 12 gauge credit card!

They make great containers for nails and screws

Change. They hold change.

So far, I use them to ration out bulks that aren't jarred.

I remove the label and give my wife the tin. I use the label to label my jars.

Typically the C&D and Pease style tins get chucked in the trash mostly because of the edge on the inside. My wife saw me throw away a square tin and asked me to give them to her. She's hording the square and "shoe polish" style tins at the moment. I did see that she was re-using one for her "recreational tobacco", ironically she chose to use The Royal Yacht tin for that. It made me laugh, given the polarity that blend has with the pipe community.

Obviously a lady of fine discernment and wisdom, since she chose Royal Yacht.

Ha ha, I do that too. The large Paterson Summertime blends are really nice looking setting on my dresser, and I separate my change out into pennies for the 2015, and silver coins for the 2016.

I fill them with Mixture 79 and go skeet shooting.

Last summer I bought a few pipes and some jars of tobacco from a fellow who owned a welding business. He had a die that he used to cut a circle out of the tin lid which he placed on top of the regular sealing lid of his Ball jars. Very similar to that npad does, but with the original tin, rather than a photo.

I keep my guitar pics in an old Orlik Golden Slice tin. I have been keeping one of every kind of tin and will someday somehow display them or just say screw it and recycle.

Usually throw them in the recycling bin but I have seen one youtube user stick a knocker in it and use it as a ashtray, may do that with my next tin.

That right there is funny, I don't care who you are. :lol:
